“…The field of Complex Systems Engineering covers the creation of systems with multitudes of dependencies and interlocking parts that must work together in unison to achieve a desired outcome and be reliable over time. Complex Systems Engineering has an often overlooked aspect: the processes that enable it; as dynamic as the system and its requirements are over time, so are the corresponding methodologies and development personnel for implementing the system [4]. While working within applicable legal and moral bounds, people are unpredictable and may execute their work in surprising and inspired ways to meet their objectives; this is especially true if an Agile framework is applied and teams are given the correct tools to perform their work, left alone, and trusted to deliver a quality product [5] [6].…”

In the development of large-scale, integrated systems, the consistent clarity and distribution of knowledge and relevant status is crucial to success. There are many existing methods and commercial tools for providing context and traceability from requirements and specifications to a system's artifacts, but these tools are often vendor-locked and require access to cloud-based services and necessitate high licensing costs. Further, modern large-scale systems development involves multiple business partners, each of which needs to ensure their teams have granular, role-based access to all relevant information without impediment; centralized warehousing and gatekeeping should not be handled by a single entity if the information is to remain readily accessible. Instead, a permissioned, distributed knowledgebase that avoids vendor lock-in enables a consistent, real-time view of information that provides equivalent context for developers and other stakeholders. ChaordicLedger, a free and open source (FOSS) project joins the transparency and smart contract aspects of Distributed Ledger Technology with the storage capabilities of a Distributed File System to fulfill this industrial application while allowing for industry-specific customizations.
